Chilling
I just happened to take my camera with me when I took my dog Jess, to the local beach. Jess decided it was much nicer lying on the beach than walking on it so I just lay opposite her and fired off a few shots. She’s very used to me taking shots so she just waited patiently for me to finish.

Jan Timmons
What a great pose—and poise! She looks as though she’s on a photo shoot, as the star model, of course, with a large fan somewhere behind the camera blowing her ears and ruffling fur. Great pov. How old? Jess, that is, not you. Looks like a good companion.
Lara Luz
shes such a little star. next she’ll be asking for paid work you know.
Melinda Kerr replied
She already is…I am merely her ‘poo-picker up er’, her walker, her feeder and her agent.

Lovely pic – very lovely dog.
Mine just won’t sit still…I get the camera out – she does the ‘collie crawl’ towards me!
Melinda Kerr replied 9 days ago
Hahaha I know that collie crawl! Jess has had many years practice of being an assistant on my shoots so she’s quite relaxed about it all :) In fact as soon as I set up the tripod, she poses in front of it!
